Our Best Endeavor
"It is apparent to me," she said, as if passing harmless sentence, "what is going on here." A clearing of the throat, and a simple head-tilt, drinking him in with her familiar, studied gaze. That icy-blue, Arctic-bred look. "I believe you've caught...
So You Are To Me
The beaver sucked in hot, humid air, teetering on the tips of her bare, slightly-webbed foot-paws. Stretching to her brown-furred, blunt-clawed toes. "Eh ... " A whoosh of air, exhaling. Her breath, as it often did, discreetly whistling past her big,...
A Wafted Sigh
The sun glimmered and glinted off the tranquil, smooth-flowing creek-water, bouncing, shimmering, refracting as if in a mirror, and generally defying most adjectives. Most, but not all. A smooth daffodil-yellow, almost with a fragrance. If April...
Affections to Sustain You
The mouse's bare foot-paws treaded primly, in that precise, careful way, off the scarred, frosty sidewalk, to the chipped pavement of the main road, which was actually divided into two parallel main roads. A railroad track ran right through the...
Homemade, My Sweet
"Classic toffee," Field read, his blue-grey eyes carefully darting over the crinkled, off-white recipe, printed on a page he'd torn from today's newspaper, from the 'Hoosier Living' section in the Indianapolis Star, "is a mixture of, uh ......
Fall Around Me
"It's flurryin' out there," the otter said, quietly. Loud as a whisper. Her brown-furred muzzle mere inches from the window. So close to the clear, cool glass that her warm, washing breath fogged a sizable portion of it. "I saw it when I went...
Sonata No. 8
Ross gave a quick glimpse, catching her civil, curtailed commotion, that familiar flicker-flicking of her holy-white bobtail. Such a pleasant motion. And, oh, such a pleasant tail. The snow rabbit, more than comfortable in her pelt, more than...
Brighter Visions Beam Afar
"Mm?" " ... I said, 'you're distracted'," Ketchy repeated, sipping her drink, a benign, homemade punch. Ginger ale, frozen orange juice concentrate, pineapple juice, and sugar. Very sweet, with icy chunks. She took a few more sips, before...
For the Win
With a pitiful, dejected sigh and whiskers weakly drooping, he pressed the 'off' button, slinking away from the television and falling quietly on the couch, where he closed his eyes and curled himself into a mousey ball. Aria, drying the popcorn...
You Don't Know Me Without You
7:04 AM He was lying close beside her, as always. As he did every night. And, oh, every morning. Bare, honey-tan belly snugged to her carnation-furred back, with an arm sleepily draped around her, in a sort of half-hug. Such was the scene as...
Crash
Pace, pace, pitter-patter-patter. Silence. Pace, pace ... " ... Deering." ... pitter-patter-patter. Delicate mousey foot-paws shuffling on the carpet, retracing steps, body moving back and forth, back and forth between the desk and...
All Ears
The softest of sweet, squeaky moans, ears hot and sensitive. Flushed, gorged with blood, gone rosy-pink, extra-erogenous to every touch, every breath, every errant lick of her tongue. Audra, panting lightly, leaned closer to him, muzzle...
